003 - Self Portrait (Ephesians 2:1-10)

Paul's letter goes right to the point with this church who apparently had forgotten from where they had come. The opening statement referencing death and that all were dead before Christ was shocking then, and shocking now. Yet, despite the shock - it is the needed word for all believers. We were dead, depraved, and doomed before Christ. Through Christ, we have been delivered. That is the hope we have.
